1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.

1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed forthe Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 775-land package.

Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facingtowards you and the load lever is on your left.

• Your boxed Intel® Pentium® 4 LGA775 processor package shouldcome with installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and theretention mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not matchthe CPU documentation, follow the latter.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap ison the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact yourretailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see anydamage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components.ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will processReturn Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if themotherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.

• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socketcontacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, ormisplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.


3. Lift the load lever in thedirection of the arrow to a 135ºangle.

4. Lift the load plate with yourthumb and forefinger to a100º angle (A), then pushthe PnP cap from the loadplate window to remove (B).

To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP capunless you are installing a CPU.

5. Position the CPU overthe socket, makingsure that the goldtriangle is on thebottom-left corner ofthe socket. Thesocket alignment keyshould fit into theCPU notch.

• Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12 V power plug;otherwise, the system will not boot up.

• To power the motherboard, it is recommended that you use an ATX12 V Specification 2.0 power supply unit (PSU) with a minimum350 W power rating. This PSU type has a 24-pin and 4-pin ATXpower plugs.

• If you intend to use a PSU with a 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs,make sure that the 20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on+12 V and that the PSU has a minimum power rating of 350 W. Thesystem may become unstable or may not boot up if the power isinadequate. We do not, however, recommend the use of a 20-pinPSU.

• The ATX 12 V 350 W Spec. 2.0 PSU passed the motherboard powerrequirement test with the following configuration:

CPU : Intel® Pentium® 4 3.6 GHzMemory : 512 MB DDR2 (x 4)Grpahics card : PCI Express x16 Nvidia EN5900Parallel ATA devices : IDE hard disk drive (x 2)Serial ATA device : SATA hard disk driveOptical drives : CD-ROM (x 2)

• You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend toinstall additional devices.
